Activate eSIM

Activating Your eSIM

The eSIM's activation policy tells you when its validity period will begin. There are two types of eSIM activation policies:

1. eSIMs that activate when you connect to a supported network. 
   Most eSIMs will activate when you turn on your eSIM line and connect to a supported network at your destination. Once you connect, your validity period will begin and you can start using your eSIM data. 
   
2. eSIMs that activate upon installation. 
   Some eSIMs will activate immediately upon installation – even if you haven't left home. For eSIMs that activate immediately, we recommend installing them just before you travel so you can make the most of your eSIM data.

You can find the activation information in Additional Information of the product page:

• Browse for eSIMs Collections at the eDataSIM store.
• Select the eSIM you wish to purchase.
• In the product page, look for ACTIVATION under ADDITIONAL INFORMATION to view its details.
  
  

* For eSIM that activate when you connect to a supported network, the validity period will will only start when you connect to a supported network. You can purchase and install the eSIM before you leave home and the validity of the eSIM will not start counting down until you connect to a network at your destination.
